So for the unaware, I moved over to db0 a few days ago due to a disagreement with administration on Lemmy.world. I moved over a couple of communities so I could continue posting in places that weren’t on Lemmy.world and /c/TenForward was a consideration. However, the guys who currently run it there either weren’t interested in helping mod a new community or weren’t interested in porting TenForward. Totally fine. I have zero issue with this at all and still love and fully support the guys. If you wanna post over there, by all means! I just didn’t want to post to a LW community anymore.

So, in the interest in not pissing off people I call my friend, I made a new community with a different name. I don’t want to try and “steal” the name TenForward from them. I mean that’d just be rude. Like taking their name out from under them. At least that’s how it might come off. The last thing I want to do is upset them. I love them and don’t, in ANY WAY, want anyone criticizing them due to those decisions. It’s their choice. That’s the point of the fediverse! But, as one of em said, the great thing about the fediverse is that you don’t need to centralize everything. So, I have made a new Trek memes community.

      Oh boy…

      The tl;dr though? The admins of startrek.website are the same guys who made the subreddits on reddit and the ones who were responsible for giving those subreddits an extremely bad name. If you ever noticed a ton of subreddits for the individual episodes, even multiple for each, it’s because of people who were running from them. They are psychotically abusive of their position, remove people for little to no reason, suppress any argument/position that they find distasteful, have completely misunderstood literally every single that that Star Trek teaches and personally harassed me by contacting admins from both multiple lemmy instances as well as my Mastodon instance to attempt to get me banned. Why? Because I was one of the biggest posters on their instance who noticed their abuse and left, taking the other big posters with me.

      In short, they’re thin skinned psychopaths who have no business calling themselves Trek fans when they have shirked every single duty to the truth that anyone in the Star Trek fandom has.
